Create webhook in Shorter Loop

Creating Webhooks in Shorter Loop#

Secure integration with Shorter Loop is made possible through Webhooks, enabling your external systems to receive real-time backlog workitem(s) when key events occur. This guide walks you through creating a webhook and retrieving the Webhook URL.

🔐 Accessing Webhook Settings#

1. Log In#

Open your preferred web browser.
Go to the Shorter Loop login page and log in with your credentials.

2. Navigate to Webhooks#

Once logged in, open your Product Settings.
Navigate to:
Products > Integrations > Webhooks
Note: If you don’t see the “Integrations” or “Webhooks” section, your user role might be restricted. Only Super Admins have access to manage Webhooks. Please contact your workspace administrator to upgrade your access.

➕ Creating a Webhook#

1.
In the Webhooks section, click on the "Create Webhook" button.
2.
A popup titled Create Webhook will appear.
3.
Enter a Name for the webhook. This name is used internally to identify the webhook.
4.
Click Create.

🔗 Copying Your Webhook URL#

Once the webhook is created:
You will see the Webhook URL listed under your newly created webhook entry.
Click the "Copy" icon/button next to the URL to copy it to your clipboard.
This URL should be added to your external service that will receive webhook events from Shorter Loop.
